CONNECTOR SYSTEMS FOR
IGNITION CIRCUITS
A few words of introduction
40,000 volts, temperatures up to 250 °C, vibration, salt water,
road dust, cleaning agents ... these are just a few of the permanent
stresses to which connectors and ignition cables are subjected dayin, day-out. Ignition lead sets bearing the Beru name are therefore
constructed to be totally waterproof, resistant to corrosion, stress
free and as a special feature, a reliable contact system. Beru ignition
lead sets are manufactured to original equipment quality and,
where necessary, suppressed in accordance with the VDE standard.
This brochure explains how you can repair or totally replace ignition
lead sets reliably and professionally with the help of the Beru ZAZ 3
workshop range. The range enables workshops for the very first
time to employ the same attachment techniques used as standard
in mass manufacture.

Reliability comes from updating
with the right ignition cables
European automobile manufacturers use three different types of OE
ignition cable systems in their vehicles: either resistance ignition
circuits with wire resistance in the cable, with carbon resistance in
the cable or ignition circuits with a copper core on which the
suppression resistance is integrated in the connectors.
Up to just a few years ago bakelite connectors and PVC ignition
cables were still being installed in many vehicles; the spark plug
connectors used in these systems had no protection whatsoever
against water ingress and dust/dirt. So if the system requires
updating we recommend ignition cables and connectors from Beru
for your customers: for copper ignition cables, Beru CopperCable, for
resistor ignition cables, Beru PowerCable. These quality cables
guarantee precision ignition sequence, optimum engine performance
and low fuel consumption - to the same OE supplier quality.
The following pages give you information and tips on repairing and
assembling together complete Power and CopperCable systems.

cable and measure out the cable lengths (marking the cablecylinder order beforehand if required).
4. Using the Beru ignition connectors, sleeves and the Beru ZAZ 3
crimping pliers, make up the corresponding ignition cable set
(Installation Instructions on Page 6, Page 19).
• The compression pressure, which is important to ensure a reliable
connection, can be achieved quickly and easily during the crimping
process.

CopperCable connector systems
Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Seat and VW vehicles are fitted with technically superior high-quality copper ignition circuit systems as standard.
Silicon-coated or injection moulded connectors, with integrated suppression resistance for waterproof protection, are two of the features of
this engineering. The design ensures optimum heat protection, is resistant to disruptive discharge up to 40,000 volts and vibration-resistant.
The suppression (in accordance with VDE) is co-ordinated to suit the ignition system of the vehicle manufacturer. Thanks to their silicon
coating the ignition cables are highly flexible up to 250 °C.
Installation Instructions for CopperCable
How the ignition cables are attached for total reliability
as shown by the example of a Mercedes-Benz connector with M3 threaded sleeve
6
Remove the insulation at the end of the ignition cable
with the help of an appropriate tool (wire cutter). An
easy way to check the correct length of cable has been
stripped, i.e. 6.8 mm, is to place it in the head of the
pliers.
1
2
3
To produce the connection between sleeve and copper
core, proceed as follows: first place the ignition cable
with sleeve into the crimping pliers - so that the thread
protrudes out of the plier jaws. Then press the pliers
together until they self-release.
4
5
6
Fitting the spark plug connector or the ignition distribution connector: apply installation oil to the ignition
cable and the internal silicon seal on the connector.
Now carefully position the M3 threaded sleeve onto
the ignition cable. We recommend that you twist the
fine copper wires slightly beforehand so they do not splay
out when being connected, instead they all slot into the
threaded section of the connection sleeve.
The connection between the sleeve and silicon outer
sleeve is created during the second crimping process.
Use the crimping pliers in position 1. Insert the sleeve in
such a way that it closes together with the rear edge of the
pliers, then press the pliers together until they self-release.
The ignition cable must now be screwed into the
connector. Finally, unscrew it by one quarter revolution
to make it easier to subsequently unscrew the connector.
For secure copper ignition cable connections
Connecting the locating sleeve:
1. Strip ignition cable using appropriate tool.
Check the measurement, 5.5 mm, by positioning on head of pliers.
3. Attaching:
as shown on Page 6.
2. Insert locating sleeve onto the ignition cable as far as it will go.
Attaching the saw-tooth sleeve:

For secure Beru PowerCable attachments:
The high-grade steel core of this PowerCable, which is
wound around a silicon carrier, can reliably transmit
high-voltage of up to 40,000 volts. To ensure that this
high ignition voltage also reaches the spark plugs without power loss, the PowerCable is double-insulated
with a highly flexible, internal silicon layer and a
sheath which remains stable, flexible and resistant to
disruptive discharge at temperatures between -60 °C
and +250 °C. This silicon sheath provides effective
protection for the power cable against external
influences such as oil, petrol, salt water and acid.
Between the inner and outer insulation there is a
textile material, providing mechanical strengthening
for the ignition cable.

changed. If the connectors are pulled off at the cable there is the
risk of the ignition cable being pulled out. Extracting the connector
using the wrong type of pliers will damage the connector. The Beru
solution: special tools which enable you to extract the spark plug
connectors easily.
In years gone by it was all so much easier. In those days car engine
compartments were so large you could almost lose the power units
in them. Changing the spark plugs was no problem at all:
everything was easily accessible and it took just a few minutes to
do the job. Nowadays it’s totally different. Filled to the brim with
electronics, every tiny space is utilised and spark plugs on modern
4-valve engines are located between deep crevices. A minor
operation becomes a fiddly task even for mechanics.
But now even the do-it-yourself mechanic no longer needs to throw
in the towel immediately. The helpful spark plug tools from Beru
make light work of changing plugs. With the help of the tool the
plugs can be carefully tightened and loosened without you injuring
or burning yourself on the engine. The flexible, rubber tool gives the
mechanic “finger-tip sensitivity”, making it easy to avoid damaging
the thread on the cylinder head or spark plugs caused e.g. by
overtightening or using force. The spark plug also sits firmly in the
tool. So damage components or incorrect electrode gap settings are
now a thing of the past.

Fitting made easier: sharpening the ignition cable
We’re all familiar with the problem of fiddling with
ignition cables which are so difficult to insert into an
ignition distributor connector, spark plug connector or
waterproof cover.
There’s now an amazingly simple solution which
makes installation so much easier for you. The end of
the cable sheath can be sharpened slightly with the
help of a normal pencil sharpener. Then, lubricated
with a little installation oil, the ignition cable can be
slotted easily into the opening provided.
The easy way to fit connectors, with the help of installation oil
This oil quickly dissolves and leaves no residues (Order

It is vital not to use glycerine, engine oil, battery grease,
silicon grease, silicon oil or cockpit spray. These
materials are unsuitable and will clog the cables!
Workshop tips
A wide range of greases and oils are used in workshops for fitting spark plug, distributor and ignition coil
connectors to ignition cables. But beware: not all
materials are suitable! So it’s better to be “safe than
sorry”! We recommend Beru special installation oil.
